Ferruginous Hawk Coming At Me
The background is blue sky (not my favorite) but it’s a Ferruginous Hawk, it was close and it was flying straight at me. For me all three of those factors have strong appeal.

Ferruginous Hawk – The Big Stretch At Takeoff
Ferruginous Hawk Throwing A Pellet
In the past I’ve photographed many buteo species regurgitating pellets but until two days ago I’d never done it with a Ferruginous Hawk. And the aftermath of this event was entertaining for me and perhaps for the hawk too. I’d never seen it happen before and I have to wonder if the hawk had.
Side Lit Barn Owl
Sidelight doesn’t always appeal to me. In fact it usually doesn’t but I think it works pretty well with this Barn Owl.
The Trouble With Harems (and for buck pronghorns it’s a big one)
Canada Goose Serendipity
I can like photos of any bird species no matter how common and believe it or not I actually got a flight shot I like yesterday, despite our inversion and gunky air.
Western Meadowlark – Golden Sunshine In The Snow
Double-crested Cormorants Doing What Cormorants Do
Pissed Off Bald Eagle Giving Me The Finger
Yup, that’s what I said.
I took this shot nine years ago and never opened the image until last night (I’m probably going to catch hell from readers for that…). It had three surprises waiting for me when I finally saw it full screen.
Preening Rough-legged Hawk
I can often thank the uropygial gland of birds for providing me with some interesting poses.
Three Barn Owl Siblings Photographed in Near Darkness
Bald Eagle Eating A Fish In Flight – The Entire 12 Image Series For The First Time
Three Bird Species On The Same Natural Perch At Different Times
Chipping Sparrow, Sage Thrasher and Northern Mockingbird. And it’s an attractive perch too so at first glance one might assume these photos had been set up. They weren’t.
Spotlit Tundra Swan In Flight (2 photos + a ‘bonus’ image)
Some folks don’t get very excited about Tundra Swans. I do, they’re damned impressive and elegant creatures.
